One Piece Chapter 1156 Release Date, Spoilers, and What to Expect
The Elbaf arc now is getting very serious, and it was going to be more about Loki's past, but then the story just changed completely. Rocks D. Xebec finally appeared. And after that, everything kind of shifts. The flashback does not feel like just backstory anymore; it’s like something bigger now.
In the last chapter, we saw the first meeting between Rocks and King Harald. But it wasn’t really first; they actually met before at Reverie. This second meeting felt stronger, where they've talked about what the world should be like. Rocks said he wanted to control everything. Even if Harald said no clearly, that talk might still be important later. And also, young Loki was there too, just watching them without saying anything.
Rocks wasn’t just strong; he was super strong, honestly. He walked into the Flower Room, beat one admiral by himself, and made a pirate crew using Davy Back Fight. But the biggest thing is, he’s Blackbeard’s father. That alone may prove him to be the most dangerous pirate ever in the story.
Harald’s Destiny and a New Path to the World Government
Chapter 1156 might still show more of the past, maybe God Valley again or the day Blackbeard was born. But now people wonder how all this fits with Harald’s end. Rocks died before Harald, so it feels like something is not adding up. That’s what people are now trying to figure out.
Also, Loki seems like he’s not just in the background anymore. After Rocks talks, something inside him changes. Not in a good or bad way, it's just different. Maybe that moment gave him his own goal, like how Luffy saw Shanks, but here it’s about power, not freedom.
Then there's Harald. Before this flashback there were little signs he helped the World Government. Maybe Rocks attacking during Reverie pushed him to choose that side. It seemed like the right choice back then, but maybe it led to his downfall. Some say he served Imu like Broggy and Dorry did. And maybe that’s what ended him in the end, with Loki getting blamed.
Next Chapter Release and Break Schedule
The next chapter is almost here. One Piece Chapter 1156 is going to be part of Issue 36 in Weekly Shonen Jump, releasing on Monday, August 4, 2025 (Japan time). But for many outside Japan, it’ll probably show on Sunday, August 3. People can read it free for a few days on Manga Plus and Viz Media.

Then there’s another break again. The second one falls on August 10. So if things don’t change, Chapter 1157 might arrive by August 17, maybe.
Each page lately is feeling like a flashback ending soon. Still, Rocks’ tale keeps tossing new clues but also confusion. Even if he's not alive anymore, the effect he has is somehow still making waves across the world.
